About this episode
Charlie Bleeker’s life is unraveling—his writing career is stalled, his ex-wife is a cop who can't resist pulling him over, and his teenage son views him as a failure. When his reckless childhood friend Marcus proposes a dubious investment opportunity in Colombia, Charlie reluctantly agrees, setting off a chain of events that spiral hilariously out of control. From entanglements with a reformed cartel leader-turned-pastry chef to mishaps involving Pablo Escobar's pet rhino, Act One of Pablo’s Rhino introduces a midlife crisis comedy where absurdity reigns and every decision leads to deeper chaos. Starring: Tim Friedlander as the Narrator Jim O'Heir as Charlie, the beleaguered writer seeking redemption Darin Toonder as Marcus, the thrill-seeking trust-fund playboy Jeff Bergman as Sam, a man embracing his true self amidst the madness Wayne Lopez as Pablo Escobar, the notorious crime lord with a surprising new passion Andrea Savo as Lucia, the sharp-witted detective entangled in the chaos Dustin Green and Holden Myers as DEA agents Knowles & Martinez, whose investigative efforts are as misguided as they are comical Keylor Leigh as Audrey, Charlie's no-nonsense ex-wife who keeps him grounded Lynette Coll as Maria Chung Escobar, the formidable power behind the throne Written by Craig Goodwill & Sam Ruano, Pablo’s Rhino is an over-the-top, fast-talking, tequila-soaked thrill ride that blends midlife crises with international escapades, delivering a story as unpredictable as it is entertaining.
